6.5 general CLE credits
DoubleTree Hotel Lloyd Center
Understanding the processes that form the bases of law and legal argument is critical to an effective law practice. Attorney and philosophy professor Douglas Lind has been in the trenches, fashioning arguments to persuade judges, jurors, administrative panels and the appellate bench. He is not an "egghead" dictating to you from an ivory tower; he is an "egghead" who knows the rigors of practice and has the ability to home in on the practical aspects of logical theory to assist you in making better arguments. Whether you are a trial lawyer, appellate lawyer or transactional lawyer, few things are more important than your ability to fashion cogent, logically grounded arguments and to identify those points where your opponent’s argument falls apart. Logic and Legal Reasoning will help you do just that.
